Suggest Treatment For Severe Nose Bleed

Hello There, I had a bad cold about a month ago and towards the end of the cold had a bad nose bleed when I blew my nose. About two weeks I noticed some yellow phlegm from my nose every morning mixed with blood, in the mornings only. Went to see a doctor 12 days ago and was given biaxin 1000mg once a day for ten days, have finished the antibiotics but still have whitish mucuos with blood every morning. Have been told many times that I have PND for the last 10 yrs because I always clear throat in the mornings. It is not a severe nosebleed but strings of blood mixed with mucuos, also after blowing my nose sometimes spit out a little blood. I live in a cold climate, but have had a humidifier in my room for last 10 days. I am very concerned that this could be some kind of cancer, please share your thoughts.

Hi,
From history it seems that due to having cold for long time there might be having irritation, soreness or ulcer on nasal mucosa giving this problem.
Put some decongestant nasal drops and apply antibiotic cream inside nasal cavity.
Nothing to worry about cancer.
Ok and take care.
